------------------------------------------------
The database is corrupted when I do the following
I create a table using jdbc
Open a transaction and delete the table
Then I query select * from table and don't catch the SQLException
The application exits
and the database is now corrupt
I can neither update the table, view it , recreate it or destroy it
The table is visible when I connect to the database using psql and say \d
Also I can see its structure using \dt but I can't see the contents using
select * .
The following error is output
db=> select * from keydb;
ERROR: mdopen: couldn't open keydb: No such file or directory
db=>
now If I try to create another table with the same name, the table exist !!
db=> create table keydb ( something int);
ERROR: Relation 'keydb' already exists
The following may be helpful
db=> \d
Database = keydb
+------------------+----------------------------------+----------+
| Owner | Relation | Type |
+------------------+----------------------------------+----------+
| rod | keydb | table |
+------------------+----------------------------------+----------+
db=> \d keydb
Table = keydb
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| Field | Type | Length|
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
| keyid | int4 | 4 |
| serial | int4 | 4 |
| packet | text | var |
| parent | int4 | 4 |
| type | char() | 1 |
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+
db=> insert into keydb values (1,1,"1",1,1);
ERROR: mdopen: couldn't open keydb: No such file or directory

concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
